6mm! Man, them some small little dudes. If you don't mind the size you
are
correct in that it will open your battlefield WAY up. SG2 moves fast
enough
were you can certainly fight larger battles. At 6mm you could easily get
two platoons or more on a side. Personally I wouldn't want to play with
figures smaller than 15mm but 6mm will work.
